Dr Ti-Han Chang

With a strong interdisciplinary background, Dr Chang’s research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of postcolonial literature, eco-criticism and environmental studies, with a particular emphasis on the Asia Pacific region. Dr Chang’s works critically engages with issues such as environment sustainability, climate displacement and Indigenous narratives in the context of globalisation and ecological crisis.

Dr Chang’s publications cover a wide range of topics, including the role of nonhuman agents in Taiwanese literature, environmental activism in the Pacific, and the politics of migration and exile. Her works has been featured in leading academic journals and edited volumes, such as International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies and Empire and Environment: Ecological Ruin in the Transpacific. And she further contributes to The Conversation, an online independent source of news analysis written by academics, on more general topics related to eco-literature and environmental philosophy.

Dr Chang welcomes research proposals on subjects related to environmental literature, postcolonial literature, cultural and socio-political studies of migration and climate displacement, as well as Indigenous environment knowledge in the Asia Pacific region. Her expertise in both the literary and socio-political dimensions of ecological issues makes her a valuable guide for postgraduate students seeking to explore how literature and theory can address the most pressing challenges of our time.
